I have recently come across Lauren Jones Worth's art, and I thought it was worth mentioning here. Her work has an allover decorated quality giving it a conscious two-dimensionality that is particularly appealing. Overlaying patterns create vibrant backgrounds for her subjects, which are primarily scenes from nature. I see influences from Cubism, Martin Johnson Heade, and 17th-century Dutch still lifes in her work, which makes it different from so much of what you see today. Check it out at www.laurenjonesworth.com. If you are in North Carolina, she has a show beginning October 22 at Tyler White Gallery in Greensboro.
